Ukrainian diplomacy chief Dmytro Kuleba praised the “constructive nature” of his meeting with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijártó on Monday. The meeting promises to be crucial as Europe must decide on the release of new financial aid very soon. “I want to emphasize the main point of this conversation: openness, honesty and constructiveness,” said the Ukrainian minister.
Three days ahead of an extraordinary European summit aimed at unblocking Viktor Orbán’s veto on aid to Ukraine, tensions are rising with the European Union hiding its growing exasperation over the Hungarian nationalist leader’s stance. “It is no coincidence that the EU member state that most violates our common values, that violates the rule of law, namely Hungary, is also the member state that still finds itself outside the EU consensus on the subject of aid to Ukraine” , condemned the German State Secretary for European Affairs, Anna Luhrmann.
